Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Most of the free world now knows that Babyface writes the songs the whole world sings, but many may not be aware that he also sings them as well. This "unplugged" performance, which is decidedly anything but, gives a high five to Babyafce's often overlooked vocal skills and triumphantly allows him to reclaim some of the hits he gave to others. It's cool to hear 'face and his stellar group (along with guests Eric Clapton, Milestone and Shanice Wilson) rework "Breathe Again" or "Take a Bow." And the duet with Stevie Wonder, "How Come How Long," may be high drama, but like the rest of this CD, it warms the soul. --Amy Linden

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Soul's Best Producers/Singer-Songwriters Live., February 24, 2001
By "musicnu" (Deerfield, IL) - See all my reviews
  
Babyface is one of the most prolific songwriters and producers in the contemporary soul market. This unplugged live performance is a wonderful showcase for Babyface to perform his own greatest hits. You may not be familiar with Babyface as an artist, but you will recognize most of the songs here because they were hits for a variety of soul artists. "Change the World", the Eric Clapton hit, opens the set with Clapton playing guitar. Clapton is among several guest artists including Stevie Wonder and K-Ci & JoJo among others. If you like Whitney Houston, you will like this CD.
